YouTube Adds 3D Video Conversion and New Editing Tools [Video]

YouTube added several new features to its video streaming service including the ability to convert your 2D video to 3D format. I'm not sure why you would want to, but now you can.

YouTube also opened up the floodgates for long-form video by allowing all verified users to upload videos longer than 15 minutes long. [YouTube via TechCrunch]
